Getting a KFC home delivery in the Gaza Strip is not easy…there are no branches in the Palestinian territory.

The only way is to import meals via tunnels linking the besieged land to Egypt.

These have also been used to smuggle arms as well as other goods.

Palestinians desperate for a fix of the Colonel Sanders treat pay more than double and wait up to three hours for their meal.

That’s if the delivery boy hasn’t been held up by Hamas guards.

A firm called Al-Yamama charges £18 for a family meal costing £7.50 in Egypt.

A spokesman said: “Sometimes Hamas checks meals, sometimes the taxi picking up Sinai orders is late.”

But Palestinians, with some of the most tightly controlled borders on Earth, don’t care.

Student Abou Fares, 22, said: “It’s delicious, even if it’s cold.”
